Our Mission

To reduce the stigma surrounding suicide in our community and provide support and resources for those in need.

Get Involved

Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to assist and support others who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge.

You can’t take a training yourself? You can still assist in actively preventing potential crisis and suicide by sponsoring a community member with a H.O.T Stipend.

Reviews:

“Hands down one of the best meals I have had in Taos in Years!”

“The most thoughtfully prepared meal I have ever had, stupendous.”

Right after I took the MHFA course, I was faced with a youth/teen in crisis and contemplating suicide. I was able to have a productive and caring conversation with this person.  I felt like I was confident to offer suggestions to assist in their problem solving and finding correct resources to recommend. I would never have had the resources or the confidence to make this difference if I hadn’t taken the course.
